That is nothing to what I have to listen to
The woman next to me shows me pictures of her son's car, her niece's baby, her cousin's dog etc etc. And i have to listen to how her son is "crazy" because he dressed as a nun for Hallloween. ALL afternoon she'd be silent for five minutes, then chuckle, then chuckle louder when I didn't take the bait, then exclaim for the umpteenth time "The sight he must have been on the train into town dressed as a nun! Only him, only he'd do somthing like that..." Yeah oonly him and every other bloke who bought a nun's habit from Smiffy's that day.

EDIT: I can't type

Hehehe
I hate it when people do that at work, sit there chuckling hoping you'll ask what's so funny... and when you try and ignore it, they just get louder and louder until they finally crack and just tell you anyway!!

I do feel like turning to them when they do that shouting 'I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO AND I DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOUR BLOODY KIDS HAVE DONE NOW, THAT'S WHY I IGNORED YOUR CHUCKLE'

That's exactly it
The girl on the other side of the office said that she can almost hear my fury in my silence. She often bursts out laughing at my attempts to ignore this woman or dismiss her with a disinterested response. Then Bore Woman asks her what she's laughing at, because she's a nosey bitch and she wants us to be as interested in her life as she is in everybody else's. She said that her son's girlfriend had 'state-of-the-art' clothes. We're assuming she means 'top-of-the-range', unless the girlfriend has those tracksuits with central heating, like I saw on Tomorrow's World once.

Hahaha bless
'State-of-the-art' clothes, I love that! :)

Thankfully most of the people where I work now actually work and don't annoy me too much, at my first proper office job everyone there was over 50 and going through the menopause at the same time, it was horrific!

Oh the windows are always open in here
My window is not, and I have my fan heater on.

Hahaha what is that all about
They did used to sit there saying 'I'm so hot, its so hot in here' all the bloody time. I used to answer the phones in my coat and offer to make cups of tea so I could heat my hands on the kettle!
